Just got rid of the 2013 silverado duramax in favor of a 2001 excursion v10.
Not down on this decision ^^^^^^ at all, but why?
The V10 is one of the best kept secrets in trucks and RV's. I've had a 2002 E350 Van with 4 wheel drive for years. It's never been in the shop and runs like a Swiss watch. I did take the advise on the Ford Enthusiast forum and contacted Mike at Five Star for a tuner. He takes your info and writes a tune to tailor the shift points and engine performance for what you do. Best bang for the buck to help the towing and milage. Got a V10 6.8L ? 5 Star TuningJust got rid of the 2013 silverado duramax in favor of a 2001 excursion v10.
Got rid of the 05 F350 6.0 and found a 1989 C1500 5.7l for the tow rig!
Tow a 97 sunbird 17' bowrider with a '99 Nissan pathfinder. Took over the local scales, boat, trailer, full fuel is #2970. Little pathy pulls fine, actually rated to tow #5000! The 3.3 V-6 just digs in and pulls, really surprised me! Had (long story) 2010 Tundra, that was a beast, but this "peppy pathy" as my daughter calls it, has moved anything I've asked it too.
I am getting rid of the 1994 Suburban 6.5L diesel and found an 05 F350 6.0 for the "new" tow rig!!!!
It's time to sell the 1994 Suburban! I bought it new!
